Haim bassist: 'I almost died during Glastonbury set'

Haim bassist Este Haim has claimed that she "almost died" during the band's set at Glastonbury this afternoon (June 28).

The 'Falling' singers were playing the Pyramid Stage after lunch today, but diabetic Este explained to NME that she forgot to eat before performing.

She revealed that her arms felt numb during the set, and that she thought she would faint.

"I almost died," Este said. "We were in the middle of a song and I'm diabetic and I didn't eat before my set like a smart, good diabetic does, and I remember not being able to feel my arms, and I was like 'This is not a normal feeling when I'm playing music'.

"My eyes kind of glazed over at the end of the song and I had to go off-stage because I thought that I was going to die in front of 25,000 people."

She jokingly stated that had she died on-stage, it would have been "the most beautiful way to die".
